Tubeless
The chrome wheels have been tubeless since December 2007; and the silver-painted wheels have been tubeless since April 2008.
The stainless steel and black-painted wire wheels have always been tubeless. Tubes are only required if fitting tube-type tyres.
If you have the older, tubed wheels or are fitting tube-type tyres you will need 175/185 x 15 tubes and we recommend 15/16″ rim bands.

Notes
A fitment check is recommended as the wheel might touch the arches
This wheel has been fitted by a customer but required arch modifications - not tried, tested or verified by ACWW
This wheel has been fitted by a customer but we would advise against it as the MGC is a very heavy car for a 60 spoke wheel
